The Community
Park District of La Grange Park in conjunction with longtime
resident Jack Ryder are compiling a list of names for all La Grange
Park residents who were killed in action (KIA) during any of our
Wars, so that we may properly honor them at the Veteran's
Memorial.

We want to make
sure that every La Grange Park resident who made the ultimate
sacrifice for our country is honored with a brick. If you
know of anyone who fits that criteria, please email Amanda Kennedy
at akennedy@communityparkdistrict.org or call the Park District at
708-354-4580.

Our List of Contributors

The Community Park District Board of Commissioners and its
Veterans Memorial Committee salute all donors who have already
contributed to the Veterans Memorial Fund.

The
Veterans Memorial was dedicated on September 20, 2014. Our Memorial is unlike many
Memorials in that it will continue to grow each year as memorial
bricks are purchased and placed in the Memorial Plaza. The Community Park District of
La Grange Park's Veterans Memorial was built to honor ALL active
duty and military veterans whether they served in times of conflict
or times of peace. We
feel that it is important to recognize all of our men and women who
have served or are now serving because they never knew what
tomorrow would bring as they protected America. There is no better way to honor
your favorite active duty or military veteran than by placing a
brick in his or her honor in our Plaza.

Memorial bricks
can be purchased by submitting an order form from the link below.
If you have any questions you can call the park district office at
708-354-4580 and speak with Amanda Kennedy. Orders received before January
31, 2018 will be recognized at a ceremony on Memorial Day weekend
in 2018.

Something New: In response to community
requests, donors who have purchased a memorial brick for the plaza
will have the opportunity to buy a replica brick that can be given
as a gift or kept for their own special memorial. Special prices for replica
bricks are as follows:4 x 8 Bricks are $60 and 8 x 8 Bricks are
$75.

Brick orders will be placed twice during the year, with
January 31 and June 30 deadlines for all orders. A replica brick order form can
be found by clicking the link below.
